La tavola di Mendeleev si può esplorare "dall'alto", come se fosse una variegata nazione di cui ogni elemento chimico costituisce una regione. I territori di questo Regno periodico hanno caratteristiche diverse tra loro, ma anche radici comuni e parentele. E i rapporti e gli scambi tra le regioni sono fondamentali per lo sviluppo della nostra tecnologia. Con la metafora del Regno Atkins racconta in modo originale le proprietà degli elementi chimici, la loro rilevanza nella vita quotidiana, la storia della loro classificazione e i principi che governano le reazioni chimiche.

This volume features a greater emphasis on the molecular view of physical chemistry and a move away from classical thermodynamics. It offers greater explanation and support in mathematics which remains an intrinsic part of physical chemistry.
The laws of thermodynamics drive everything that happens in the universe. From the expansion of a cloud of gas to the cooling of hot metal, and from the unfurling of a leaf to the course of life itself - everything is directed and constrained by four simple laws. Peter Atkins' powerful introduction explains what the laws are and how they work.
